Default Slang search

Hello,

I'd like to know whether it's possible to look for usually words here in the slang section and find the words, slang, which fit the best to that word. I'd like to use slang when I'm writing lyrical things and it would making the search much easier for me and all the others.

Would be awesome.

Tetsuo

It should be possible- you can do it in the phrasal verbs and the idioms sections, so we will do it. I'll forward your message to the webmaster.

Hi Tetsuo, Thank you for your excellent suggestion! I've put together a basic search page where you can search our entire Idioms & Slang databases. Let me know of any suggestions you might have for it and I'll see if we can help. Enjoy. http://www.usingenglish.com/members/idioms/search.php
